Our clove bud oil is derived from the buds of a cultivated evergreen tree. The flower buds are removed from the tree, dried and steam distilled by small farmers in Indonesia. The farmers then sell the oil to collection centers that provide them a fair living wage. Clove bud essential oil has a spicy, sweet aroma that provides comforting, warming and stimulating properties. It blends well with sweet orange, cedarwood and peppermint.

Each batch of oil is physically inspected by hand for color, clarity and viscosity

Essential oils are not technically oils, rather they are highly concentrated plant constituents that possess medicinal and cosmetic qualities. Most essential oils are high in antibacterial, antifungal and antiviral properties. Essential oils are miniscule in molecular size, and they do not absorb in the body over time. It’s important to note that fragrance oils and essential oils are not the same thing. Essential oils are wholly natural and cannot be patented.

For aromatherapy, essential oils can be used in a diffuser. Smelling essential oils, with or without a diffuser, provides benefits. Use essential oils to help your mood. Do not apply essential oils topically without first diluting in a carrier oil, and do not ingest essential oils.

With proper care, essential oils will last for at least 5 years. Store your essential oils in dark glass bottles and out of direct sunlight.

Avoid contact with your eyes. Keep all essential oils out of the reach of children. What you are allergic to in food, you will be allergic to in essential oils.

A few words of general cautions and safety…Essential oils are highly concentrated plant constituents that possess medicinal and cosmetic qualities, and should be treated with caution. They are for external use only. Dilution is an important part of topical essential oil use, and many helpful consumer references are available. If you have sensitive skin, do a small patch test before using new oils to make sure no irritation occurs. If you are pregnant, have high blood pressure, or are using on babies or children, please take special caution. Citrus oils react to light in high concentrations (photosensitive), so please avoid using them on your skin immediately before extended sun exposure.
